Minor: Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences minor provides a formal vehicle for students specializing in other science fields to pursue interest in the atmospheric and oceanic environment. It is designed to be flexible, recognizing that many topics in this field cross traditional disciplinary boundaries.

To enter the minor, students must have an overall GPA of 2.0 or better and must make an appointment with a departmental undergraduate adviser for approval in selecting a coordinated program of courses from within the department and related disciples. For further information, contact the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at (310) 825-1954.

Other relevant courses from related disciplines may be substituted with prior approval of the department.

One course may be taken on a Passes/No Pass basis; all other minor courses must be taken for a letter grade, with an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Successful completion of the minor is indicated on the transcript and diploma.
